EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of Phalocallis coelestis, also known as Lead-coloured phalocallis or Phalocallis plumbea. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by W. Herbert and published in William Jackson Hooker's esteemed Botanical Magazine in London in 1839. Phalocallis coelestis is a rare and captivating plant, native to the tropical regions of South America. The engraving captures the plant in all its glory, with its delicate, lead-coloured bracts encircling the vibrant, star-shaped flowers. The intricate details of the veins on the leaves and the delicate petals of the flower are expertly rendered, showcasing the exceptional skill of the botanical illustrator and engraver. The Botanical Magazine, founded in 1820, was a leading publication for botanical illustrations and was instrumental in documenting and disseminating knowledge about the natural world. William Jackson Hooker, a renowned botanist and Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, oversaw the publication and ensured that only the highest quality illustrations were published. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting rare and exotic plants for future generations. The intricate details and vibrant colours of this hand-coloured copperplate engraving make it a true work of art and a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
